JOHN PARMELEE 1659-1725
(John, John)
| The
oldest family grave marker that I have found in America
is that of John, the second son of John Sr., along the
wall at Guilford's Alderbrook Cemetery. His younger
brother Joel's is in Durham.
The town's first residents were buried at the Village Green and John is probably among them. In 1824, the last of the headstones were moved to Alderbrook, on the town's east side, as the Village Green was turned into a park and gathering place |
